We're hardly the first to suggest a rename of this monster peak. Tacomans have been calling for it to be renamed Mount Tacoma for years, and it was originally called Tahoma (or Tacoma, depending on who you ask), so we get the point. But that's not grabbing on to our modern era. Let's rename it with some context.

Oregon's perpetually single peak rises 9,068 feet above sea level and supports a serious ski area. But the name might be misleading. This "mountain" was once called Bachelor Butte, but the owners of the ski area thought that might sound small-time, so they called it Mount Bachelor, and it stuck.

, for Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. No, he's
not the epitome of a bachelor, but he is the shortest quarterback to
ever win a Super Bowl. And, like this mountain, he's a rough and tumble
character (on the field), a force to be taken quite seriously in any
situation.

This 7,980-foot peak is the tallest in the Olympic Mountains and, despite a stature much shorter than many of the bigger Cascade peaks, is no joke of a mountain. We recognize that, and though its original name comes from the British explorer John Meares (and likely refers to the mountain in Greece where the 12 Olympians lived), it's time for a makeover.

Yep, that's another Greek god. But this one is
more befitting the Olympic Peninsula. We've been out there and we know
how the peninsula people like to have a good party. Therefore, this god
of wine, festivals, madness, drunkenness and ecstasy seems far more
appropriate for a namesake than just some other mountain.

Mount Baker: This snowfall record-setting active volcano is one glorious mountain. Home to a ski area (technically not on Mount Baker, but roughly nine miles northeast) that has the highest-ever recorded snowfall in one season, and a stone's throw from Canada, this peak takes its name from ... a third lieutenant in George Vancouver's expedition? That simply won't do.

, for the vast swarms of weed-fueled skiers,
snowboarders, hikers, bikers and other examples of the counterculture
who traverse this mountain or its nearby neighbors each year. Sure, we
know not everyone up there is baked, but who are you kidding? I can
smell it, dude.

This peak in southwest Washington is often forgotten, but is indeed the second-highest peak in Washington, at 12,281 feet. And for that reason, we think its name is not doing it justice.

Renamed: Mount Brad Owen

, after the state's own lieutenant governor.
Like the vice president, the lieutenant governor is the No. 2 man
for the government -- but that's about it. Like the photo above, taken
on Mount Rainier, you can see the lieutenant governor's office from the
governor's office, but sometimes you miss it. And there's no need to
worry too much about having to rename the peak regularly. One former
lieutenant governor, John Cherberg, served for 32 years in the elected
office, while an earlier incumbent served for 20 years. Brad Owen is
just two years shy of 20 years in the office himself.

This mountain stands up tall and fairly nasty-looking over the North Cascades. From Everett, it seems to dominate the skyline, but this 10,525-foot peak is the most isolated stratovolcano in the North Cascades. It's also one of Washington's most active volcanoes. So why leave it at Glacier Peak? If it's an active volcano, it needs a proper name.

This volcano already blew its top, so it seems considerably less saintly than before. But this 8,363-foot mountain (it used to stand over 9,600 feet) still has power left inside. It's a volcano, for crying out loud! But it, like so many other peaks, is named for some old British guy who probably wasn't in support of an independent America. So, let's rethink this.

Named after the star running back's Twitter handle, and because Mount
Marshawn and Mount Lynch don't quite do the trick. Like this shortened volcano, the Hawks' Marshawn Lynch will explode violently and then get quiet for a spell. And while this smoky peak hasn't had a major eruption in a while, it was extremely active in the 19th century, according to most accounts from the time, much like Lynch's extremely active period now. Perhaps someday, he too, will become a bit less active. But that will only be in a buildup to an ultra-violent eruption. A true "Beast Mode" moment.

Within eyeshot of ultra-quirky Portland, this mountain takes its name from Lord Samuel Hood, given by a member of Capt. George Vancouver's expedition in 1792. Since the mountain was named for an enemy commander (Hood was a British admiral at the Battle of Chesapeake), we see a way to modernize it while maintaining the sense of the original name.

. Since Seattleites so love to hate Portland, we can only assume (and we have to, since we've only driven through the weird city) they hate us equally. So we'll shove that right back at 'em and name their mountain after us. Heck, they can call the Space Needle the Portland Needle if they like. And isn't that Mount Mariner in the background?

Lord Samuel Hood, whose name was given to Oregon's tallest peak, fought against us at the Battle of the Chesapeake and in two other battles.

Mount Baker earned its name from a third lieutenant in the British Navy. Third. In a foreign navy.

We think we can do better than that.

But rather than simply revert mountains to their given native names (though that's probably not a bad idea either), we've gathered a few of the better-known peaks and given them modern names based on their attributes.
